Synopsis/Details
Every day is the same. Wake up. Eat. Work. Eat. Survive.
For one man with a hypermetabolic condition, food isn't pleasure; it isn't comfort; it isn't even hunger. It's a biological obligation that never stops. 9,000 calories a day just to function. Just to keep the lights on inside a body that burns through everything and gives nothing back.
Burn Rate is a dialogue-free short film that follows one man through a single relentless day; from the mechanical ritual of breakfast to the quiet devastation of eating alone in a buffet at night while families laugh around him. No villain. No miracle. Just the exhausting, invisible weight of a life spent feeding a body that will never be satisfied.
Some people fight to survive. He just has to keep eating.
